Ernesto Valverde spoke at a post-match press conference after Valladolid-FC Barcelona (0-1). "Valladolid played with good pressure and they pushed us, but the pitch had a lot to do with it,” he said, adding: “We were more dominant and had opportunities, but we couldn’t score the second goal.”

"There was a time when they changed the system and we could’ve made it 0-2 then, but in the last few minutes we did badly.“ Valuing the importance of this victory, Valverde also commented on the state of the pitch: "These results give us opportunities to win the League, but we feared that there could be some injury, the state of the pitch has conditioned the way both teams played.”
